Its 7am again, woke early yet again had a horrible nightmare yesterday morning dreamt I was being bullied by the snooty "soccer moms" again
I hated that wasn't in the "in" crowd in the town I used to live in, wasn't wanted wasn't liked at all but they wouldn't say it to your face oh no just totally ignore you as if you weren't there , their kids got slots in the band and choir they helped out in the canteen that was theirs I shouldn't be there at all.
They would invite each other around for coffee and the tupperware/jewelry/linen parties I'd find out about them later when I'd over hear when I took the kids to play sport.
I had no friends, plenty of kids always at our place all the time the house was full of them but never any adults only the "boys" my X's friends after cricket and for BBQ's
I made sure I was there though when it came to helping out at the school, always there canteen, prep for the fundraisers,the stalls, the town functions they hated it "what are you doing here?" they would say as if to say "you shouldn't be here this is OUR thing".
Nasty nasty women the whole lot of them except for Jan and Sally who moved down to Salisbury which left me with one I was alone most of the time you can only have so much time with the one person , I got my adult conversation by selling Avon was the only time I got to talk to other women then still they only wanted me there on sufferance .. I was the Avon lady after all you don't get too friendly.

Look I don't really want to get close to anyone because if I do they move, they go away so I push people away but hey it would have been nice to have been offered not ignored as if I wasn't there or not wanted.

Yep I know I'm talking to myself I don't care do that all the time have to don't I, wont bother finding any friends here in this town they'll be the same snooty, up-themselves, do their thing which I'm not a part of so its easier not to bother at all, same goes for online too by the way I'd actually rather not get close to anyone because they go away possibly the same thing they never wanted me in the first place

PS: The Soccer Moms were actually AFL moms, we tried soccer but the mothers there were even worse as well as the snootiness above weren't rich enough for that lot.

Over the last few years I have become more and more jaded, tired, lacking in "buzz" just don't want to write or comment
Twitter used to be interesting in 09 it was fun following people and seeing their point of view in 150 characters or less, now its all "sell, sell sell" basically it's blah blah I read it and go pffft not another auto post I'm actually un-following more than I'm finding that are interesting
You are meant to tweet back to people to get up your cred as mine has slipped down now but seriously there isn't hardly anything worth me clicking on.
See back in 09 when I first started using Twitter I was in the top lot in Australia yep I was thank you very much, but it got too much so I left it alone for a while in the meantime all these so called "social media gurus" gained a pile of followers only because they use programmes to gain numbers and thats all it is, numbers honestly most of them aren't worth following back but people do
It's ok though if people want to follow those who lack substance and wit its up to them .

My problem is I can't find any more worth following and I wont just blindly follow just for the sake of it, neither will I use one of those programmes that gains 200-500 follows in a day, nor will I set up my blog to auto tweet past posts every five minutes just to "up" my amount of tweets, that's pointless and just adds to Twitter clutter I'm not going to gain anything by that

Anyway its what 5.30am , dog woke me at 4am I'm tired but if I go back to bed I'll sleep in and I want to go look at the cars this morning, there is meant to be a car rally starting off this morning at 8.30am there are other check points later in the day but seeing as I've no idea where they are and the cars will be clean if I go early ............. I'm going early.

INSANE !
A total and complete nut job, so far he's driven out at least 5 lots of people from the surrounding houses.You can't make a single sound or he's banging on your door or ringing you at 1am, he wonders up and down the street in just his PJ shorts, goes bang bang bang with his cap gun at all hours at the birds flying overhead, over head! I mean what are they doing invading his airspace ? Only air space hes got is between his ears.

Oh and then there's the " I don't drink" thing ok so he don't drink so what's making that tinkling of glass when the garbage truck rolls around at 5am? Pickle jars?
He wont mow the grass outside his house "that's the councils land" he says but don't walk on it he's out like a flash "get off MY land".
He leaves his gate open on purpose so it bangs in the wind, he puts a single brick there at the bottom of the gate but leaves a gap of about 6cm so it bangs, he does that on purpose just to make a noise, just to annoy the neighbors.See he's one of those people who pick, pick pick at you until you retaliate then of course you are the one in the wrong.
So just to annoy him back I don't do anything at all, we will not move I keep our lawn neat oh and I put out seed for the birds

If you really want a pile of comments and a whole lot of
conversation talk about a dog, not just any dog though it has to be the Pit
Bull or more precisely the American Pit Bull a dog breed banned here in
Australia.

Ice is a Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog

Now don’t get me wrong I love dogs all dogs are DOGS first
though, they instinctually will go “can I eat it?”, “is it mine?” and “I am
pack leader”

Now there is the main problem PACK LEADER or who is the boss
of the house, if your dog thinks or in some cases knows it is the boss you are
going to have a problem with it.

That front gate is as far as the dog is concerned “theirs”
and they are going to protect their territory that sandwich that that child has
is “theirs” and they will have it. YOU are theirs and they will stop anyone
else from coming near you. Its instinct if you look at wolves they will do the
same thing the boss dog the top dog goes first when it comes to food, has the
best bed the top position it gets more and gets it now!

If you are top “dog” and train your dog properly, so it knows
that you are the top dog, YOU go first, YOU eat first, YOU go to the door first
then you are the boss.

Your dog doesn’t need to be nor should it be afraid of you
neither should it be fearful of children, you see a child will put its arm
around a dog, it will have food and it will put a large object like a
bat/stick/tennis racquet above its head, they will do that they are children
after all and if your dog is afraid of those things it might just be fear
aggressive.

What’s fear aggression? When afraid you have two choices,
run away or stand and fight, fear aggression is stand and fight.

The other thing a dog might do is give a warning yip and
sometimes a warning nip if a child does something to the dog that the dog
doesn’t like, maybe come too close to the tail “don’t touch the sore spot on
the tail” or sit in the dogs favourite sunny spot “that’s my spot get off”
after all the child is lower ranked in the pack than you are so to the dog the
child is lower than them so can be told off that’s the way dogs are.

The problem is when you have a big dog, a Labrador, an
Alsatian, a Cattle Dog or an American Pit Bull if it bites it does more damage
than a tiny dog would, a Mini Fox Terrier isn’t going to do much damage at all
it can’t its small and there is your main word there SMALL, all dogs and I mean
all dogs don’t know size, ask one if it knows if its small or not, don’t ask
the Chihuahua tho unless you can understand Mexican but they will say to you
“What is this small you speak of? All dogs are the same size” they have no idea
absolutely no idea that they are small neither does a bigger dog know it’s big,
a big dog will still try to get on your lap and still try to squeeze under the
coffee table.

Bundy

The problem is when a big dog gives a warning nip its mouth
is as large as a child’s head so when that child goes into the dogs territory
or yours and the dog doing its instinctual job of protection goes to tell that
child off who comes off the worse for it? The child of course.

I’ve had many dogs, big hairy ones, small yappy brown
spotted ones, there is one at the moment around here somewhere possibly on the
bed she’s what you call a herding dog (see pic above). See dogs can be herders, Cattle Dogs,
Corgi’s and Old English sheep dogs are herders.

Or they can be bred for catching things like rats and pigs
the terrier whether it’s a Bull Terrier, Pit Bull, Staffordshire or a Fox
Terrier those are all terriers they are all tenacious, will not let go of
something once they have it. My Mini Fox terrier could be lifted up whilst
holding onto a stick a full two metres off the ground which was around 10 times
his height, which was fine by him it was a fun thing to do a “dog” thing that
he was bred to do and he was by all accounts little but not by his standards
(dogs don’t know size).

The problem is if you’ve got a dog which has “Terrier” in
its breed name you are going to get a dog that is determined, stubborn one that
will NOT let go, imagine if that stick was an arm and you had a Pit Bull
Terrier attached to it or a Staffordshire either dog doesn’t matter they are
both terriers they will not let go.

Before I go repeating, myself again again if you look at the
statistics on which dog bit who (you know where Google is go look yourself) you
will see there are 10 breeds there that are the worst biters, the most
aggressive, Boxers are in those statistics (see pic) but Bundy wouldn't do any more than knock you over or tail whip you. Some are there just because there are more of them than any other
dog they are popular so obviously the
statistics will be high, others are there not because the dog breed has
aggressive dogs but because the dogs person is hopeless at being pack LEADER
they just let the dog be like that and in some cases encourage it.

It’s not the dogs fault, it’s not the breeds fault its
people, people breed dogs to be what they would like the dog to be, people
encourage dogs to behave in a way that they want them to behave, so don’t blame
the dog blame the person.

Put the blame on the person who is afraid of dogs, the one
who couldn’t tell you what breed it was that barked at them because it sensed
their fear or was just a happy dog that knocked them over because “dogs don’t
know size” and hurt the person accidentally.

I believe that dogs that all dogs can be made aggressive,
but also can be made great hunters, herders and protectors it’s there its
instinct they will do what dogs do ..... if you let them.

Thunder the chook killer
with Fasto the cat

PS: My Mini Foxie apart from being a grand total of 2kgs and
a height of 30cm was a killer; we just couldn’t stop him once he started from
killing chickens, a dog that size is impossible to catch, he killed six of next
doors chickens before I could catch him. I didn’t let him, nor encourage him he
just did as terriers will do and that’s hunt. We just kept him away from all
chickens after that because we knew he was like that. If he had been a big dog and
couldn’t help biting people well you know what happens there.

Where we live isn't small maybe 10k worth of people , large hospital and brand new million dollar medical center at least six doctors and a pile of staff.
You would think yeah ok, I hurt myself I can go up to the hospital well yes you can in the day time if you can get yourself there we wont say anything about the Ambulance Service right now, say you can walk or someone can drive you.
You arrive at the hospital stagger to the front counter which is at least 300 meters away from the entrance, after struggling though the huge weighted security door you half collapse on the security glass and pant "I need a doctor"
The woman behind the counter grumpily scolds you for leaning on the counter and then demands your name details, medicare number and all the other numbers that you can't remember and are printed on the cards anyway.
"Go and wait" she snootily says putting her nose in the air, as if you smell and she can't stand to look at you. So you wait, read one of the magazines from 1991, watch the looped soundless video of advertisements asking you not to cough and to wash your hands if you do, you watch it at least five or six times.
There isn't anyone else sitting in the cold white reception area, there must be someone in the actual Emergency Room though as you watch hospital staff with a clip board and a electronic key card not nurses or doctors these are "officials"enter and exit the same door five or six times you can see there are shadows of what you presume to be nurses in that room.
No Nurses or Doctors enter or exit only "staff" official looking snooty nosed staff made out of the same mould as the one on the desk, prancing around with their clipboards and pens on strings they walk in and out and back again over and over.
Meanwhile you wait and after what seems like two hours because your watch is broken and there isn't a clock in the reception area, no tissues either just a water fountain that says "don't drink if you are waiting for surgery".Finally you get called in to find the Emergency Room is a small warren of smaller rooms maybe six tiny rooms, each one is empty except for the one that looks like the tea room/ file room no people in there just coats slung over the backs of chairs. You soon realize that there is only one nurse on duty, she's been there all day patient after patient, demanding, bleeding and most cases crying in pain.
This poor nurse looks tired and frazzled because there is only her on duty she's had to scoot off the patients in most cases "go home take an aspirin" as there is no one to take care of them in the entire hospital, the doctors are all over at the medical center making money seeing patients for five minutes, charging Medicare for twenty then having a smoke out the back in the time they have left over.
There are empty beds all over the hospital, patients get carried off to Orange Base Hospital in a rather large very expensive ambulance because there isn't enough money to pay more nurses.
There are plenty of "staff" though, file clerks and officials, administration staff lots of those but NOT enough nurses and no where near enough doctors, not doctors who care anyway. Not saying all of them are bad there are one or two who are fantastic but as with all good doctors you'll be hard put to get to see those ones but if you do get to see the those two you will at least get to see them for the full allotted time.

Oh by the way don't bother getting sick after 5 pm the hospital is locked up tight, security system tighter than the Westpac Bank you wont get in, see you are ment to press the buzzer "once ONLY" it says on the sign and someone will answer and let you in but with only one nurse on duty who is busy, busy, busy she can't let you in and the one behind the counter well she don't wont to let you in .... you smell.
